Mini Reunion

Roscoe and I caught up with two of our Bradley classmates yesterday afternoon!

Roscoe met Lilian (4 weeks old) and Sammy (2 weeks old) for the first time, while the new moms exchanged birth stories, advice, and adventures to date. It was sanity saving to catch up with other women who can directly relate to what I'm experiencing right now. For one, exclusive breastfeeding is harder work than I anticipated!

This is yet another way in which our birthing class has proven it's value: Andy and I now have a network (in our immediate area), of at least three other new moms and dads, that we can tap for emotional and social support.

The "big" Bradley reunion is set for mid July, and we're all eagerly awaiting the births of the last two babies (due in mid June, and early July)!
